12 Best Andrew Garfield Films

"Sorry, my Prada's at the cleaners, along with my hoodie and my 'fuck-you' flip-flops, you pretentious douchebag!" As the betrayed co-founder of Facebook, Garfield delivers the emotional core of David Fincher's masterpiece. His furious outburst smashing Mark Zuckerberg's laptop is one of the most iconic film scenes of this century.

Lin-Manuel Miranda asked Garfield if he could sing; Garfield lied that he could and then took intensive singing lessons for a year. The result is devastating. As legendary theater composer Jonathan Larson, desperately racing against the ticking clock of his thirtieth birthday and the AIDS epidemic around him, Garfield sings, raps, and bounces with unstoppable zest for life -- earning him a well-deserved Oscar nomination.

"Lord, help me get one more." The true story of Desmond Doss, the conscientious objector who refused to touch a rifle but singlehandedly rescued 75 wounded soldiers from a cliff during the hell of Okinawa. Garfield gives Doss a gentle, unshakable integrity that lends Mel Gibson's bloody war epic a profound spiritual weight.

His triumphant return as 'Peter 3' was the emotional high point of the film. When he saves MJ (Zendaya) from a fatal fall in the climax and bursts into tears because he couldn't save Gwen Stacy back then, the theater got chills. Garfield proved once and for all how much heart and soul he had poured into the suit.

Garfield lost nearly twenty kilos and spent a week in a silent retreat in Wales to prepare for Martin Scorsese's religious epic. As the seventeenth-century Portuguese Jesuit who travels to feudal Japan and witnesses horrific torture of Christians, he delivers a grueling, existential performance about the silence of God.

A sun-soaked, paranoid neo-noir odyssey through Los Angeles. Garfield wanders as unemployed, perpetually stoned thirtysomething Sam, who becomes obsessed with secret codes in pop songs and missing neighborhood girls. His scattered energy and comedic despair make this a wonderfully modern cult film.

Garfield brought a deliciously cheeky, quick-witted New York swagger to the wall-crawler, combined with a tangible skate culture and physical agility. His unmatched chemistry with Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy remains the absolute gold standard for romance in superhero films.

In this melancholic adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's dystopian novel, Garfield, Carey Mulligan, and Keira Knightley play cloned orphans raised to donate their organs. Garfield's primal cry of pure, powerless rage on a dark country road, upon realizing their love cannot save them, cuts straight to the bone.

After his family is evicted from their home during the American mortgage crisis, construction worker Dennis is forced to work for the very same ruthless real estate mogul (Michael Shannon) who put him on the street. Garfield balances guilt and the bitter drive to survive with gripping urgency.

With a gleaming smile, slicked-back hair, and an oily televangelist charm, Garfield portrays the corrupt Jim Bakker. He shows the gradual downfall of an idealistic young man drowning in his own megalomaniacal theme park empire and financial scandals.

His major breakthrough, which earned him a BAFTA for Best Actor at just twenty-four. As a young man trying to reintegrate under a new identity after years in youth detention for a notorious child murder, Garfield shows a disarming, fragile innocence that forces viewers into deep moral self-reflection.

A non-linear, deeply moving romance with Florence Pugh. Garfield plays a gentle Weetabix employee who falls for an ambitious chef and must learn to cope with a devastating cancer diagnosis. The chemistry between the two stars feels remarkably intimate, real, and heartbreaking.
